HEATING'DRUM OR RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 522,534, dated July 3, 1894. Application ltd December 4, 1,891. .Renewed J une 9, 1894. Sen'al No..514,l04. (No model.) l

.To all whom it may concern/r Be it known that I, JOHN L. REID, a citizen of the United States, residing at Davenport, in

the county of Scott and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in' Heating Drums or Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

- My invention relates to 'improvements in heating drums' or radiators, and consistsin a certain novel construction and combination of devices, fully described hereinafter in connection with the drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side view of the improved heating drum or radiator, affixed in operative position to the upper end of a stove fire-pot, a small portion of which is shown. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the same; and Fig. 3is a side view of the drum or radiator, with the water casing and exterior collar radiator removed.

Similar numerals. of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings designates an extension combustion chamber fire pot, designed to be secured to the upper end of a stove fire pot, a part of which stove fire pot is shown and designated as 11. The extension fire 'pot\ is flaring so that its diameter at its top is greater than at its base, and at its top it is provided with a cover or top plate 12 and in its side is provided a fuel. chute 13 and feed door 14.

15 represents aradiator chamber, which is also constructed aring so that the diameter at its top is greater than its base, the diameter at its top being substantially the same as the diameter at the top of the combustion chamber 10. The radiator chamber at its top is provided with a'cover or top plate 16. A vertical pipe 1,7 connects the bottom of the `radiator chamber 15, with the combustionV chamber 10 by means of a central aperture in its cover or top plate 12. A transverse spindle 18 is mounted in suitablebearings in the opposite sides of the lower end of thefvertical pipe 17 one end of which is extended so as to forma handle 18", and which extended part of the handle passes through a water tight tube 19. v

20 represents a damper or valve secured upon said spindle fitting closely in said pipe 17, such damper or valve when opened is shown by the broken circular lines in Fig. 2. Three vertical ilues 21 extend from the top or cover of the combustion chamber to the radiator chamber, and thereby connect the combustion chamber with said radiator chamber. Two transverse dues 22 and 23 extend from the vertical pipe 17, above the damper or valve, to the exterior collar radiator 24:. yA transverse spindle 25 is mounted in suitable bearings in` the opposite sides of the trans verse flue 23 one end of which is extended to form a handle 26, and which handle passes through a water tight tube 27 which extends from said transverse flue 23 outward through .the exteriorcollar radiator 24. A damper or valve 28 is secured upon said spindle, fitting closely in said iue 23, such damper or` valve v when opened is illustrated by the broken lines in Fig. 2. AdjoiningA the inner surface of the exterior collar radiator,and connected to the top of the combustion chamber and top of the radiator chamber is secured the water casing 29 which forms a chamber for water between the lower portion of the radiator chamber and the top of the combustion cham ber the parts being constructed so that all joints are water tight. YAn outlet pipe k30 is secured to the-exterior collar radiator and forms the outlet for smoke and gas. A suit-I able opening 31 is made near the topof the water casing to afford means for` filling the chamber with water, and near the bottom of such casing is a small pipe 32 which may be vprovided with a suitable stop cock, or other means, for drawing the water out of the chamber when desired.

The operation of my heating drum or radiator is as follows: When the dampers or valves 20 and 28 are Opened as shown by the broken lines in Fig. 2, the smoke, gases and other prov ducts of combustion from the iire p'ot pass directly upward in the vertical pipe 17 and out through the flue 23 into the outlet pipe 30, and escape, and when these dampers or\ valves are closed, the products of combustion pass upward from the tire pot through the vertical flues 21 into the radiator chamber, and being deiiected by the dam pers or valves 2O and 28 pass/through the transverse Iiue 22 roo i into the exterior radiator collar24 and thence to the outlet pipe 30 Where the same escape, 2l connecting said combustion chamber and I5 causing the Water in the chamber to become radiator chamber, the exterior radiator co1- heated. lar, the outlet pipe connected therewith, the The advantage of my device is the vast heattransverse fines 22 and 23, connecting said 5 ing or radiating surface furnished by conpipe 17 above its damper or"va1ve with said st-ructing,r the drum or radiator as I have iilusexterior radiator collar, the Water casing 29,u zo
